Bill of the Week: Assembly Bill 510 (Cooley) – Local Government: Destruction of Records

RCRC has lent its support to Assembly Bill 510, authored by Assembly Member Ken Cooley (D-Rancho Cordova).  AB 510 would allow public agencies to manage their records retention policies for recordings related to routine video monitoring, radios, and telephones. 

AB 510 modernizes our state’s retention records mandate to allow for modern practices, and provides flexibility for counties to adapt to future technological advances.  Currently, AB 510 awaits consideration in the Assembly.  RCRC’s support letter can be accessed here.
